Tall Blonde Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I thought I saw this on here before, but now for the life of me I can't find it. I'm trying to dry out some of my soaps and I thought I read on here using that gel kitty litter to help draw out moisture. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I think it's working, but does anyone have any info, or have you done this before? The funny thing is I added sodium lactate according to the MMS directions to get a harder bar, and it's the softest soap I ever made!

Carriegsxr6 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 hmm I would be hesitant to try it for the fear that it may also draw out the fragrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 hmm I would be hesitant to try it for the fear that it may also draw out the fragrance.I was just thinking the same thing. :/ That would really suck to have a ton of unscented soaps ..... not to mention the $$$ wasted on FO.

Tall Blonde Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well, it hasn't affected the scent so far. It's just so unbelievably soft! I've never had this problem before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 You can go to your local Home Depot or Lowes and get some Damp Rid Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I studied up on the Damp Rid and that's what I will use when I cure out my soap on top of mu kitchen cabinets. It will be warm up there since I use a wood burner but the Damp Rid will draw the mosture out of the bars like a dehumidifier. In the summer, the soap will be cured in the basement and I'll use a dehumidifier down there. Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Blonde Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Well, after some quick research, Damp Rid is apparently calcium chloride, which is available at the Chemistry Store and I think at pool supply places. Might be worth checking out. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
